LOL. Comedian George Carline mentioned you and the other absurdities about race:
Thanks—great!
Teresa Heinz Kerry could technically be called an African-American given her birthplace...
Obama is described as black yet his mother was of the same race as my late mother—white. (Also, a bit of trickery here, but I could say that Barack Obama is dead and Ted Kennedy is alive. It’s true. Barack Obama _Sr_ is dead while Ted Kennedy _Jr_ is alive... )
Also Carlin says:
>>Liberals should be taught that labels divide people, and I think that we can do with fewer labels, not more.
I could imagine someone meeting a dwarf and saying, “Oh, that’s a midget—wait, that might be offensive...dwarf? Little person? Short-statured? What should I call him?”—and the little guy looks over at the average sized person and says, “You can call me Jim.” :)
